Wasn't someone wanting pink Converse hightops not long ago? I was at Marshall's last night and they have a lot of pairs in a lot of sizes -- they're graduated, with hot pink closest to the heel, then a band of slightly lighter, pink, and lightest still near the toe. Even the lightest isn't really light, though.

If anyone wants, I can pick up and ship out.

Was very shocked, as I had not done those things. Woke up before I could attempt to straighten out the landlord.

Dream Andi is a wild child!

AmyLiz, if you're serious, I would *love* a pair of women's 9 1/2 or 10.

Andi's subconscious was having some fun last night while the lights were out upstairs!

Puppies! Squirrel!

Other good thing this year--someone was actually able to fix Hubby's heart instead of just patch it. He's had only one "incident" since that operation, and he said "It was just weirdness, not a full blown thing." Plus the shoulder operation fixed what turned out to be a much less serious problem and the doctor this morning said he should have full function back.

I have to return a sweater that looked lovely on the hanger, and looks much less lovely on me, so no problem. The perils of impulse shopping, I tell you. I'm heading back probably tomorrow, so I'll pick 'em up if they have your size. I think they were...$16.99? Crap, I should've checked that part, huh?

Either way, if I find them in your size, I'll let you know and then you can send along your smail mail address, etc.

Connie, you and Hubby have had quite a year with the medical stuff. Yay for good outcomes!

Were other people having weird dreams last night too?

One of mine involved a serial killer who peeled his victims' skin off. My dream was following the loose cannon detective called in to take him down when all else had failed. He got partnered up with a naive young blonde rookie, who just happened to fit the profile of all the previous victims. Long story short, she got kidnapped and it turned out that the hard-as-nails detective was the serial killer, and the rookie woke up strapped to a chair in a room lined with the skins of his victims.

I blame Tim.

Congrats on the new cousin, vw!

Somebody told me they couldn't marry me because I'm not Jewish. In the light of day, I don't remember if they couldn't be my spouse or couldn't officiate for me and somebody else.

That'd be fabutastic, Amy. Mwah!

I am completely inept at dealing with my mother.

Have you worn Converse before, JZ? In other words, if there's a choice between 9 1/2 and 10, which way should I lean?

ImememeN, I'm fairly sure I'm going to Tampa the first weekend in December with a very old friend, courtesy of her FF miles, to see another very old friend. I am stoked. A trip!

Edited to give Nora hugs, and to admit that I may have inadvertently bogarted all of Maidengurl's "good day ~ma"...
